Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
anxiety levels
Time Frame: Each session will take approximately 2-3 hours (total of 4 test sessions
changes in anxiety levels quantified with a questionnaire
arterial pressure
Time Frame: Each session will take approximately 2-3 hours (total of 4 test sessions
changes in arterial pressure will be quantified with a non-invasive device (finometer)
force
Time Frame: Each session will take approximately 2-3 hours (total of 4 test sessions)
Change in force of the arm muscles will be evaluated with a custom made device during each test session
fatigue
Time Frame: Each session will take approximately 2-3 hours (total of 4 test sessions
changes in fatigue will be assessed with questionnaires
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
